G. 0. P. LEADERS MEET TO PLAN FORCONCLAVE Kansas City Facilities for Convention Will Be Told Committee. By United Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 6.—An inventory of Kansas City’s facilities for handling the national Republican convention here next June will be submitted to the national Republican committee on convention arrangements today. The committee, headed by William M. Butler of Massachusetts, chairman of the national committee, will meet with chairmen of the subcommittees at 10 o’clock. Butler, Charles D. Hilles, New York; J. Henry Roraback, Connecticut; William H. Crocker, California; Mrs. William S. Levan, Ohio; and Miss Bina M. West, Michigan, were due in Kansas City this morning. Other members of the national committee arrived yesterday and completed a cursory inspection of the convention site. Assignment of rooms and headquarters for the convention will not be made for several weeks, it was said. The housing situation and distribution of tickets to the seats in Convention hall will be discussed today. The consensus of committeemen already on the scene is that President Coolidge meant what he said in refusing to be a candidate for President. Aside from this observation however, committeemen have declined to discuss national politics or candidates, not even to the extent of dffering comments on Governor A1 Smith’s address to the New York assembly.

Plans for inducing the convention to come to Chicago were made yesterday by Brennan and W. R. Dawes, president of the Association of Commerce. In the party which will go to Washington will be Melvin A. Traylor, president of the First National Bank; A. J. Cermak, president of the county board, and Edward N. Hurley, former chairman of the United States Shipping Board. Tentative plans call for holding the convention in the Coliseum, which would be enlarged for the event. HITS LOCAL POLITICIAN D. C.

Walter Jarvis appeared before the park board meeting late Thursday with wholesale recommendations to oust employes, the board left its regular meeting room and went to the office of Recreational Director Jesse P. McClure for a short session. It was more than an hour before they emerged and the Board Member Michael E. Foley (Dem.), announced that “the record will show that the recommendations will be taken under advisement.” Mayor’s Letter Read Before their retirement behind closed doors, Jar Vis had read the members a letter from Mayor L. Ert Slack in which he asked that McClure and the two members of the park board legal staff, Telford Orbison and State Senator William T. Quillen, be ousted.
